What is human prothrombin complex concentrate?
Disease description:
A few days ago, I was hit and bled heavily without stopping. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said I needed prothrombin complex concentrate. What is this?
Prothrombin complex concentrate is a clinical medication used to treat coagulation disorders. It contains four vitamin K-dependent clotting factors: factor II, factor VII, factor IX, and factor X. Therefore, prothrombin complex concentrate can improve bleeding and coagulation disorders caused by deficiencies in these clotting factors, as well as those resulting from excessive anticoagulant use, vitamin K deficiency, or liver disease.
